Fishing in RuneScape: Dragonwilds isn’t something you can jump into right away. The game won’t hand you a rod or point you toward a fishing spot. You’ll need to make your own gear first.
Crafting your way to the water
The process starts with crafting. You can’t buy a rod or find one lying around. Instead, you’ll gather materials and build your own fishing equipment from scratch. That means hitting the wilderness, scavenging resources, and surviving long enough to put something usable together.
Once you’ve got a basic rod in hand, the actual fishing part is straightforward. Cast your line, wait for a bite, and reel it in. Nothing fancy there.
No hand-holding here
“The game doesn’t exactly hold your hand or give you a starting rod,” the source notes. That’s the whole vibe of RuneScape: Dragonwilds—you figure things out or you don’t. The survival angle means even basic activities like fishing demand a little preparation.
It’s not complicated once you know what to do. The hard part is getting to that point.
